Observing the Evolution of Typhoon Wakes
Abstract
The long-term goal of this work is to observe, understand, quantify and parameterize upper-ocean mixing for use in global ocean modeling. Our research program is to observe the temporal and spatial evolution of typhoon wakes, in particular we plan to directly observe the mixing associated with turbulence generated by the strong air-sea interaction in a typhoon. These observations will be used to make quantifiable assessments of mixed layer models under the extreme conditions of a typhoon.
